We only had a short visit because lockdown made us leaving earlier. I have stayed there many times under my partners name and found it is the prime area to stay. I did email you guys re the tap in our bathroom needed fixing. Otherwise all good. I'm planning on staying in March 2022 re Rod Stewart, if nothing happens like 2020. Always like having the view of the sea and balcony. Cheers Carol S.

Dear Carol S., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Geelong. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback.

Absolutely love staying in this Hotel. The staff are friendly and the property is kept very neat and tidy. I have neven been let down by the team and the facilities. Due to COVID the room minibar and munchies have disappeared and you have to book the gym and restaurant. Hopefully freedom will return in due course.

housesounds 08/03/2021 TripAdvisor review

Had a great stay last week after so long not being able to go anywhere for so long due to covid restrictions. The property was clean and staff very aware of the protocols required. Meals and drinks were almost normal and staff do an excellent job. The property being where it is lends itself to great walks and close to bars and eateries. So very good to get back and travel again.
